Solar eclipse of September 11, 1969

An annular solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Thursday, September 11, 1969, with a magnitude of 0.969. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is smaller than the Sun's, blocking most of the Sun's light and causing the Sun to look like an annulus (ring). An annular eclipse appears as a partial eclipse over a region of the Earth thousands of kilometres wide. Annularity was visible from the Pacific Ocean, Peru, Bolivia and the southwestern tip of Brazilian state Mato Grosso. Places west of the International Date Line witnessed the eclipse on Friday, September 12, 1969.
